Letter From The President...

Dear Casey Systems’ Clients;

To date 2006 has been a year of steady progress for Casey Systems.  We believe in growth through investment in new technologies, markets, and highly qualified personnel.  The management team and I are focused on the opportunities ahead.

Casey will continue to build on our momentum and growth as redefined with our recent $2.5 million dollar award from the New York City Transit Authority for lower Manhattan. I am confident with all the changes at Casey and in the industry our future is bright. 

You can share our vision with a look at the NEW Casey Systems in our newsletters from

Al Koenig
President


All Aboard!

As part of the emphasis of being a one step solution to our customers, the Audio-Visual group is obtaining the certification to provide the Polycom Audio and Video Teleconferencing bridges which are used for multipoint Hi-Res video conferencing.

With that addition of bridge networks, Casey Systems will become a certified reseller of all Polycom products. 

This month, a few high profile companies have been added to our list of customers, this includes US Steel Corporation, where Casey Systems designed and installed in their boardroom a full projection and video-conferencing system.

In other news, the AV group is in negotiation to secure audio and video projects which will substantially increase its present backlog.

Joe Mezzafonte, VP of the audio visual group commented with this additional work, the AV group will be increasing the department’s personnel to meet the demands of these new orders.


Management Team — Ready and Waiting to Serve You!

Casey Systems with its 40 years experience in the fire alarm industry has been awarded the contract to provide the new Fire Alarm System for the “New Stanhope”.  The Stanhope is located on 995 Fifth Avenue at the corner of 81st Street situated opposite the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is being turned into luxury homes. The “New Stanhope” will feature 123,000 square feet of luxurious co-op property. It will consist of 26 full and half floor new residences, with prices ranging from $10 million with the Penthouse expected to sell for about $50 million.

The residences are designed by architect John Simpson who is famous for adding to Buckingham Palace.  Mr. Simpson said to the New York Observer that “In the early 20th century, New York was leading the field in style and setting the tone for combining the traditions and elegance of the past with a new modern way of looking at things and it is actually doing that again which is interesting—a rebirth again almost 100 years later.”

 

Following our Vision...

Our goal is to provide our clients with leading-edge technology for all of their transit, fire, A/V and life-safety building requirements.  While advanced technology has always been our focus, we will place particularly strong emphasis on customer service and on the customization of integrated solutions for the individual customer. 

Shorter response time, fast and thorough attention to client service inquiries and rapid part replacement turnaround is something we believe in strongly.  We remain committed to you and to our goal: to be the leading, single-source supplier of low voltage solutions in the NY Metro area.
